Indiana’s controversial law, Religious Freedom Restoration Act, has indirectly paved the way for the First Church of Cannabis.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Last, month the aforementioned church based in Indianapolis, won the right to light up and spread their gospel, because they were awarded non-profit status from the Internal Revenue Service.
One may ask themselves, how was this possible?
Well, that would be a very legitimate question.
The First Church of Cannabis, is deemed a charity because, “donors can deduct gifts made to the church on federal tax returns and when the cannabis congregation finds a location, it will be eligible for a property tax exemption – even though neither medical nor recreational marijuana is legal in the state of Indiana.”
